AXIS 243Q Blade - I/O Terminal connector 50

I/O Terminal connector

The inputs and outputs on the AXIS 243Q Blade are accessed via the 12-pin I/O terminal connector on the AXIS 291 1U Video Server Rack. The following are available:

4 digital transistor outputs (1 per video input)

4 digital inputs (1 per video input)

RS-485 interface (AXIS 243Q(1) Blade only)

auxiliary power and GND

The terminal connector is used in applications for motion detection, event triggering, time lapse recording, alarm notification via email, and image storage to FTP locations, among others.

Inputs - used for a push button, for example. If the button is pressed, the state changes, and the input is active (shown under Event Configuration > Port Sta- tus).

Outputs - an alarm device that can be activated from Output buttons on the Live View page or as an action to an Event Type. The output shows as active (in Event Configuration > Port Status), if the device is activated.

The AXIS 291 Video Server rack includes a green 12-pin connector block. Connect input/output devices to this block:

1.Loosen the corresponding screw on top of the pin on the connector block (see the table above to determine which pin to use).

2.Push the cable into the connector block and secure it by fastening the screw.

3.Once all devices are connected, connect the connector block to the video server’s terminal connector.
